I hate HR!

[missy-a-k]

I work two jobs to tide over my living expenses. And Recently came off my contract for my weekend job, but still working similar hours, just got an email off HR saying they've calculated over the last few months or so they've overpaid me by £400 - roughly £100 a month. They've now asked for me to pay it all back to them - they are reluctant to provide me proof on paper that this is what I owe and would find it hard to do so as they are the most unorganised dipsh*ts I've ever known.

Quite simply I can't afford to pop out £400 at them, and I can't afford even month installments of £40 or for them to take £40 out of my wages. So looks like I'm looking for a third job. Bcks!

tell them you want proof or STFU

Surely you check your payslips?

Do your own calculations and find that they show that you've been under paid by them to the tune of £400 over the last few months then...

Evidently not, but it does not matter because it is HR's fault.

I do but over the last month we've had reimbursements and a slight payrise + the hours I do and what they try and tell me I've done often don't quite match.

You need to get this in writing from this HR Department, they are not supposed to just claw back money from you as and when they feel like it.

You have to insist that you have something in writing, otherwise you could be paying out money for a long time just because of a verbal "agreement". There should be an end date as well as a start date, and an agreed amount to pay back the money owed, (if that really is the case).

If they are still reluctant, I would take it further and seek legal help - citizens advice etc.?

Sounds like a sloppy operation from both parties has come back to bite.

So you've had an interest free loan, which you've spunked because you're too lazy to check that your wages are right.

Bad luck.

Thanks for that, will get on at them about putting it in writing.

1) Ask them to prove it, and when they do, arrange repayments as you can make them - it was their mistake, not yours.

2) irrelevant, but I love HR, as our HR lady is hot. That doen't help you, but I thought it best to put it out there.

You're entitled to that, really.

But honestly, it's not your money, is it? Pay it back!

I will quite happily pay them back what I owe them but I won't pay them back what I have earnt and they just hope I won't pick up on the fact they've over estimated. Their main argument is the rota doesn't match my timesheets, when they're the ones that always call me in last minute so of course its not gonna be on the p*ssing rota! lol grrr!

Hmmm. Clicked on that link and you profile states that you are "rakin in the moulah", yet you say in your earlier post that you can't afford to pay back £40 per month?
